Really, I think the same answers for question 2 can<br>be said for question 3. Bluetooth or inductance loop technology could<br>also be a consideration, we have that at most MTA kiosks in the NYC<br>area. I can explain the technology behind it if needed.<br>I think the use of iDevices is already in the main stream, I recall<br>reading an article about someone with a physical disability not being<br>able to leave her home,
so some poll workers took an iPad to her<br>residence and had her fill out the ballot and then print it on a<br>wireless printer. This could also be an idea for those who are<br>deaf-blind. Yes, braille displays are connected via Bluetooth, but<br>once the pairing is established, it's secure as far as I know. Also,<br>with the newer Bluetooth standard (4.0), there are ways in which to<br>design the Bluetooth technology that limit how far the signal will<br>even carry.<br><br>Scott<br><br>On 11/18/13, heather albright <<a ymailto="mailto:kd5cbl@gmail.com" href="mailto:kd5cbl@gmail.com">kd5cbl@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> Refreshable braille displays!

I also like Scott?s idea of course of adding in short-range Bluetooth for hearing aid systems that employ about technology. And of course for those older systems and inductance loop makes perfect sense.

However, we have to remember that not everyone have all of those equipments with their hearing aids or know how to read braille. If we could improve what we currently use would be
great. For me personally making sure the sound system is loud enough and speech is clear would be helpful. The built in software need to be active as soon as the ballot is inserted in the the voting machine. <br><br>As a voter we have to make sure we are educated about what is on the ballot before election day.
